Use it after creating or updating a shift to confirm whether it is still pending, approved or rejected. **Token scopes**: `time-tracking:read`, `worker:read` **Beta**: this version requires the `X-Beta: true` request header and its contract may change before it is promoted to stable. It is scheduled to become stable on 2027-02-03. Reference: https://docs.deel.wtf/api/reference/endpoints/time-tracking-shifts/get-shift-v-2026-11-03 ## Authentication - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — ## Authentication The Deel API uses bearer tokens to authenticate requests. All API calls must be made over HTTPS — calls over plain HTTP or without authentication will fail. ```curl curl -X GET 'https://api.deel.training/rest/v2/contracts' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN-HERE' ``` [Learn more about authentication](/api/authentication) - `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Standard OAuth2 security scheme based on https://swagger.io/docs/specification/authentication/ ## Servers - `https://api.letsdeel.com/rest` (Production, default) - `https://api-staging.letsdeel.com/rest` (Demo) ## Request ### Path parameters - `shift_id` (string, required) — Deel ID of the shift, as returned in the shift's id field. ### Headers - `X-Beta` (enum, required, default: true) — Opts in to the beta version of this endpoint. Must be `true`. - Allowed values: `true` ## Response ### 200 The shift. - `data` (TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData, required) — A shift recorded on a contract. ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Operation failed. - `request` (ApiErrorRequest, optional) - `errors` (list of ApiError, optional) ### 401 Unauthorized Error The token is missing, invalid, inactive or revoked (INVALID_TOKEN, TOKEN_INACTIVE, TOKEN_REVOKED or UNAUTHORIZED). - `errors` (list of TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Every problem found, not only the first. ### 403 Forbidden Error INSUFFICIENT_SCOPES (the token has neither the time-tracking:read nor the worker:read scope) or TOKEN_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED (a token type these endpoints do not accept). - `errors` (list of TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Every problem found, not only the first. ### 404 Not Found Error SHIFT_NOT_FOUND. No such shift in the caller's organization, it was deleted, or a worker token asked for another worker's shift. - `errors` (list of TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Every problem found, not only the first. ### 429 Too Many Requests Error RATE_LIMITED. Over 5 requests per second for the organization. - `errors` (list of TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Every problem found, not only the first. ### 500 Internal Server Error INTERNAL_ERROR. Unexpected failure; safe to retry. - `errors` (list of TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems, required) — Every problem found, not only the first. ## Types ### TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData A shift recorded on a contract. - `id` (string, required) — Deel ID of the shift; the shift_id path parameter. - `end` (string, required, nullable) — Shift end as local clock time, without a UTC offset; null for duration-only and DAY_TRACKING shifts. - `date` (string, required) — Shift day, the local date the shift belongs to. - `type` (enum, required) — Kind of time the shift records. Which types a contract accepts depends on its time tracking policy. - Allowed values: `REGULAR`, `OVERTIME`, `ON_CALL`, `KEEP_IN_TOUCH`, `DAY_TRACKING` - `start` (string, required, nullable) — Shift start as local clock time, without a UTC offset; null for duration-only and DAY_TRACKING shifts. - `breaks` (list of TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataBreaksItems, required) — Breaks inside the shift; empty when there are none. - `origin` (enum, required, nullable) — Channel the shift was entered through. PLATFORM is the Deel web app, ADMIN is Deel staff, AUTO_SUBMIT is automatic submission, INTERNAL_INTEGRATION is another Deel product, EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION is this API; null when the channel was not recorded. - Allowed values: `PLATFORM`, `MOBILE`, `ADMIN`, `AUTO_SUBMIT`, `INTERNAL_INTEGRATION`, `EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION`, `SLACK` - `status` (enum, required) — Approval status of the shift. On a pay-as-you-go contract it follows the hourly report: APPROVED also covers hourly reports being processed, paid or marked not payable. - Allowed values: `PENDING`, `APPROVED`, `REJECTED` - `timezone` (string, required, nullable) — IANA time zone the shift was worked in; null when it was not sent. - `call_outs` (list of TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataCallOutsItems, required) — Call-outs inside an ON_CALL shift; empty for other types. - `created_at` (string, required) — When the shift was created, in UTC. - `project_id` (string, required, nullable) — Project the time was spent on; null when none. - `updated_at` (string, required) — When the shift last changed, in UTC. - `break_hours` (double, required) — Hours spent on breaks. - `contract_id` (string, required) — Deel contract the shift is recorded on. - `description` (string, required, nullable) — What the worker did; null when none. - `total_hours` (double, required) — Hours from start to end, breaks included. - `worked_hours` (double, required) — Hours worked, total hours minus break hours. - `is_meal_break_waived` (boolean, required) — Whether the worker waived the meal break. - `is_half_day` (boolean, optional) — Whether a DAY_TRACKING shift counts as half a day. Present only on DAY_TRACKING shifts. ### ApiErrorRequest - `method` (string, optional) — The HTTP method of the failed request - `url` (string, optional) — The relative URL of the failed request - `status` (double, optional) — The status code of the response - `api_req_id` (string, optional) — The request ID of the failed request - `docs` (string, optional) — A link to the official documentation for the requested endpoint resource - `source` (string, optional) — The source handler which produced the returned error - `code` (double, optional) — The code of the source handler which produced the returned error ### ApiError - `message` (string, optional) — A description of the returned error - `path` (string, optional) — The JSON path where input validation failed ### TimeTrackingShiftsShiftIdGetResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaErrorsItems One problem with the request. - `code` (string, required) — Stable machine-readable error code. - `message` (string, required) — Human-readable explanation.
